How is our stoneware made? In brief, the pieces are slip-cast in my studio and bisque fired. Then the item is glazed, hand painted with bands and stripes and fired again. It is then decorated with my original artwork that I make into decals using my ceramic decal printer. The decals are made from ceramic pigments and fire at 1600+ degrees Fahrenheit, becoming a part of the glaze surface. You can visit the "About Shepherds Grove" page to see get more information and watch some short videos of the different processes I use to make my stoneware. Because my stoneware is hand made and hand decorated, it is normal to expect some variation between items, especially in respect to the hand painted accents - no two pieces will be exactly the same. Also, there may be small specks in the glaze and slight surface irregularities which are all a part of being handmade and only add to the charm of the piece.
